Liverpool-based importing and exporting business Brunswick International has opened a new warehousing facility in Hunts Cross.

The company has moved from its former Kirkdale home, where it had operated from for more than 20 years, to a state-of-the-art 50,000 sq ft warehouse on Triumph Business Park.

The new premises, which also includes 15,000 sq ft of external storage space, follows a surge in demand from growing numbers of domestic and international clients.

The new base includes more storage bays and temperature controlling facilities which will allow Brunswick to widen the products it imports and exports.

Brunswick has also been granted a Customs Bond facility, which will allow businesses to store their goods with the advantage of delaying the payment of custom duties until the goods are released.

Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Anna Rothery, opened the new HQ this week.

The new location adds to Brunswick’s Salford warehouse and will be home to the majority of the company’s 47 staff.

Steve Crane, managing director, says: “We are delighted with our new premises in Hunts Cross which will allow Brunswick to expand business operations.

“For many years, our core business was with the USA and China but increasingly, we’re working throughout Europe moving freight by road, sea and air.

“We’ve had to make the move to accommodate the increased demand. We’ve also expanded our operations in Salford and are looking at other possible locations around the UK.

“We enjoyed over 20 wonderful years in Kirkdale but we are looking forward to continued success from our new home. The new premises have everything we need and will be the central hub of operations for the company.”
